Rapid viability loss on exposure to air in a superoxide dismutase-deficient mutant of Porphyromonas gingivalis.

abstract：:The function of AI-2 in many bacteria and the physiological role of LuxS, the enzyme responsible for its production, remain matters of debate. Here, we show that in Staphylococcus aureus the luxS gene forms a monocistronic transcriptional unit under the control of a sigma(70)-dependent promoter. The gene was transcrib...
